About Artwork: (About 1665-8) "Philips Koninck, who is said to have been a pupil of Rembrandt, is known for his panoramic landscapes in which a road or a stream leads the eye into the far distance. This vast landscape seems strange and rather eerie under grey, lowering clouds. Although there’s no sun, a lone woman shields her eyes to peer into the foliage at the roadside, as if she’s looking for something. The path she stands on seems to turn sharply to the right, and gets lost in the trees – there’s no visible way through the woods in the direction she’s looking. Behind her, sheep and cows seem to hesitate; some look back at the man and the child behind them, who seem to hesitate too. It’s unlikely that Koninck had a particular story in mind, although he has given the figures character so that they seem to have a tale to tell. He has left it to the viewer to decide what that is." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
